\begin{abstract}
  This report is connected to a Computer Science project at Roskilde University. We chose this topic since we had the desire to 
  broaden our knowledge about the latest technologies in Computer Science and Informatics. \emph{Find Friend Location} combines the latest 
  technologies in \emph{SmartPhones} and Internet, like the \emph{Android} application in \emph{Java}, and the Web site in \emph{PHP}. These 
  applications consume the \emph{Web services} they have in common, which connect to \emph{MySQL} database. 

  The goal of the project team was to make a real world project that joins these technologies in the same distributed software 
  system. Working in a group requires particular methods in order to find a solution that all members would agree with. To deal 
  with that problem different methodological strategies were found. This paper should present an introduction on how to deal with 
  certain problems, which occur during the software development. For example: How could the Android users share all their 
  information? How could they update their location? How can a user know about a friend's location in real time? How can a user 
  take and set photos in a specific location?   

  After four months of hard work, we would like to thank the Associate Professor Keld Helsgaun, who was supervising the project, 
  for his constructive feedback, which helped us improving the software and documentation.
